Here – look at this picture of the Virgin Mary made from porno shots and surrounded by elephant shit instead.

Is this really the same newspaper that made this statement only one day ago?

The New York Times and much of the rest of the nation's news media have reported on the cartoons but refrained from showing them. That seems a reasonable choice for news organizations that usually refrain from gratuitous assaults on religious symbols, especially since the cartoons are so easy to describe in words.

The stench of such rank hypocrisy certainly transcends that of the materials used to create the “artwork” pictured – especially since the picture is also “so easy to describe in words.”

But then again, the editors of this once great newspaper feel reasonably certain that they are unlikely to face violence from offended Catholics or other Christians, so a different standard applies.
